"I have always had the deepest respect and admiration for Giorgio Armani, not only as a designer who never strayed from his vision, but as a man who loved his family and friends, and his homeland in such a special way. Though he was an icon of the world of fashion, he lived with great humility and a love of living that inspired the way he worked and the way he lived. He created a world reflecting all the things he loved with a foreverness that will be his legacy."
"Giorgio Armani had such a clear force of personality and vision that you knew his work instantly, wherever you found it. He understood power and attitude and elegance as well as anyone ever has in fashion, and he understood women too: how they wanted to dress and what message they wanted to send as they asserted themselves through his rise in the '70s, '80s, and beyond. He also never confined himself to one field or one discipline, and understood that fashion can't exist in a silo. For him fashion wasn't one thing: It was also film, music, sport, art, design, and architecture, and he left his mark in all these worlds-and everywhere he went."
Giorgio Armani died at age 91, prompting widespread tributes from fashion, entertainment, and cultural figures. Colleagues and admirers praised his unwavering vision, humility, and love of life. He is remembered for creating sophisticated, understated glamour and for garments that conveyed power, attitude, and elegance. Tributes noted his understanding of women’s aspirations and his impact beyond clothing into film, music, sport, art, design, and architecture. Friends recalled personal kindness, discovery of talent, and an ability to craft lasting aesthetic worlds. His legacy is framed as timeless influence and a cultural mark across multiple creative fields.
